when you look at florida, the difference between a bush win in florida, 537,000 votes and obama win in florida, 700,000 it was a pretty decisive victory for democrats across the board. even in the house, we picked up seven seats and you know, not enough to take the majority. but it's clear that the public got the president's message. he got it across. >> congressman schock, there are young people under 30, went heavily toward president obama, what lesson does your party have to take away from all of this? >> we have to do a better job with young people and women. but the group that we have to zero in on is the latino community a group that should be voting for republicans. we take a leadership role on the issue of immigration. i think it makes sense for republicans to get out in front on immigration, because it's a government program. it shouldn't take eight years on the average to figure out whether or not you qualify to be an american citizen. i think it's unfortunate that our party when we controlled the entire process didn't do more on the issue. i'm disappointed in the president i

few weeks ago, governor romney's campaign was saying we're going to win florida and virginia. on monday, governor romney is going to florida and virginia, why, because he's in great risk to lose those states. we're playing offense on states they thought they had the inside track on and they don't. i think a lot of this is a smoke screen to try to mask the fact that the places that will play a factor, it's going to be close. they're definitely in a weak position heading into election day. >> anything that worries you in these final 48 hours in. >> sure, george. listen, four years ago, when this time two days out, everybody felt we were sailing to victory. we were veryconcerned. because support levels don't mean anything unless they materialize into votes. former president clinton is going to be with us in new hampshire. but this really comes down to our amazing volunteers. our staff out in the field who have to make sure the people who support the president exercise their right to vote. that's our biggest task right now to make suhuure we get our e out. >>ven the president wins
